"Science's victory.. has cost us every one of us. And it has cost us deeply.

Silence.

Science may have alleviated the miseries of disease and drudgery and provided an array of gadgetry for our entertainment and convenience, but it has left us in a world of without wonder. Our sunsets have been reduced to wavelengths and frequencies. The complexities of the universe have been shredded into mathematical equations. Even our self-worth as human beings has been destroyed. Science proclaims that Planet Earth and its inhabitants are a meaningless speck in the grand scheme. A cosmic accident.

Pause.

Even the technology that promises to unite us, divides us. Each of us, is now electronically connected to the globe, and yet we feel alone. We are bombarded with violence, division, fracture, and betrayal. Skepticism has become a virtue. Cynicism and demand for proof has become enlightened thought. Is it any wonder that humans now feel more depressed and defeated than they have at any point in human history? Does science holds anything sacred? Science looks for answers by probing our unborn fetuses. Science even presumes to rearrange our own DNA. It shatters God's world into smaller and smaller pieces in quest of meaning... and all it finds is more questions. "

extracts from Angels & Demons by Dan Brown... this is part of a speech given by the Carmenlengo (check dictionary or do your own research on who is this. lazy to explain. =p ) in the effort to speak to the public about how he or the Vatican church, the catholics.. admit defeat to Science. There are many more to this speech.. particularly.. this part is really thought provoking... try reading.. reading is a form of happiness too... or perhaps.. ironically.. leaving you more pessimistic..? you decide.
